I bought a Reed Wizard from Ben last year at the Oklahoma Symposium. It
is a wonderful tool, and well worth the $300 price tag. I was convinced
of its worth after Ben adjusted the reed that I had just used for my
recital, and he made it significantly better! I've not seen a newer
model -- I had a friend just get one, and hers looked identical to mine,
although I did not look at it closely. When did this newer model come
out? I'm sure Ben would be happy to answer any questions about the
device.
